Leaching is a process widely used in extractive metallurgy where ore is treated with chemicals to convert the valuable metals within into soluble salts. These can then be washed out and processed to give the pure metal; the material left over is commonly referred to as tailings.

The heap is sprayed with leaching reagent. As the reagent percolates through the heap the wanted metals are solubilized. The leachate (metal containing solution) drained from the heap is collected in a pond and the solution is subsequently sent for metal recovery. Heap leaching takes months rather than years as for dump leaching.

There is a long history to extract metal from ore directly with heap leaching process. This process is firstly used in low-grade copper deposits and then used in the leaching of low-grade uranium ore. With the development of technology and economy, heap leaching technology has been widely used in low grade oxidized ore to leach gold.

Air, for instance, is blown into the heap through air lines situated under the leach pad. Since these naturally-occurring bacteria are present nearly everywhere, they undoubtedly play a role in all acid leaching operations; however, these are not considered bacterial leaching since neither cultivated bacteria nor air are added and acid is applied.

Heap leaching is an industrial mining process to extract precious metals, copper, uranium, and other compounds from ore via a series of chemical reactions that absorb specific minerals and then re-separates them after their division from other earth materials. Similar to in situ mining, heap leach mining differs in that it places ore on a liner, then adds the chemicals via drip systems to the
Get PriceHeap leaching is used to extract gold, copper, silver, uranium, and iodine. This method was first employed to extract copper at the Bluebird mine in the US in the early 1960s, and then by several gold mines in the western parts of the US a few years later. Since then, heap leaching has been adopted successfully by many mines across the world.

Heap leach mining is an industrial hydrometallurgical process, where the metal contained in an ore body is extracted by dissolution. The target mineral is leached with an aqueous solution whereby the mineral is dissolved into what is called a "pregnant" solution which, is then captured and later recovered downstream in the processing line.
